    Creating a Bundle of Items without Variants

    I thought that the built-in Kit Builder might fit what I need, but it doesn't look like it. We sell several "packages" of items, which are basically bundles of products at a discount price. These items in the bundles are pre-set, and we also sell the items in the bundles individually too. There are no variants in these bundles as the items included are fixed. Also we do not use Inventory features. I would like to have a product page for these bundles that can pull up a list in table form for each product in the bundle, along with the normal retail price, with a link back to the individual product page. Also be easily able to include this information on emails, invoices, etc.

    Thanks,
    Shannon

    Have you looked at Kit Maker?

      Yes, this seems to be exactly what I am looking for. Do you know if this works for the most current version of Miva? I have sent Emporium a support question to verify as it doesn't look like they offer a version for 5.5 stores.

      Thanks,
      Shannon

        There was a 5x version of that module which works with 5.5. You can see an example product using the kit module in the test store at http://www.pinemporium.com/mm5/merch...&Store_Code=PE

        The 5x version was discontinued when Miva made kits a built-in feature. Over the past couple years several modules have been "retired".

          So this module is no longer available going forward? It seems to be exactly what I need. The built-in kitbuilder seems to require Inventory to be used, which we don't, and I don't know if it will create a list of each product (foreach loop) included the package on the product page. I did find the Miva 5.5 online PDF manual which goes over using the kit-builder, but still find using it very confusing.

          Thanks,

            It is not available unless the folks at Miva want to make it available for 5.5. I took it off a few years ago when Miva included kits in the core product. But since I sold all of the Emporium Plus modules to Miva back in April, it is no longer my call on whether you can get the 5x version. If you look at the install/usage doc for the EP module at http://www.emporiumplus.com/v5/kitmaker.htm you can see the code for the foreach loop. In the example you saw in the test store, you simply enter the relevant product codes and quantities into the input in the tab on the kit products' edit screens. For example:
            1AA00068|1^
            1AA00004|1^
            1AA00072|1^
            1AA00087|1^
            1AA00053|1^

              Thanks for your reply Bill, but since this module is no longer available, I guess I'll have to try to work with the internal kitbuilder. Your module did look like the perfect fit for what I was looking for... too bad!

              Thanks again,
              Shannon
